سُوْرَةُ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ
Surah Ibrahim (14) — Ayah 32
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِىَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِۦ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرَ ﴿32﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Allâh is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down water (rain) from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as provision for you; and He has made the ships to be of service to you, that they may sail through the sea by His Command; and He has made rivers (also) to be of service to you.

32. 1. Among the favors Allah has bestowed upon the creation, some are mentioned here. He said that He made the sky a canopy and the earth a carpet. He sent down rain from the sky and caused various kinds of trees and crops to grow, among which are fruits and produce for taste and strength, and various types of grains whose colors and shapes differ from one another, and whose tastes, fragrances, and benefits are also different. He subjected ships and vessels to service so that they sail upon the turbulent waves, transporting people from one country to another and transferring goods of trade from one place to another. He caused springs and rivers to flow from the lands and mountains so that you may drink and also irrigate your fields.
